I have misplaced my comments for this beer
bobert (6), woodcliff lake, New Hampshire, USA does not count | 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Very remaniscent of the oatmeal stout...not as good. I drank this brew wtih a friend named Samuel Smith which may have induced a biased opinion--we were rather excited about the finding of the Samuel Smith beers. Very solid beer though--distinct taste--thick but smooth. Coffee, caramel, hazlenut taste. Fruitfly (59), , Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2008 An attractive deep red-brown. The rich malts come to a sticky sweetness in nose. More body than expected. Crystal flavor with a very mild roastiness. The mouthfeel is pleasant and the drawn out over a lightly bitter and long finish. There’s something metallic that’s a bit unpleasant in both the nose and flavor. Beardface (1024), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2008 Pours medium brown with a big ol white head. Obviously very nutty in both aroma and flavor, hints of caramel and tasty hazelnut complement the base walnut flavor. Very interesting take on the style. gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA
